How to prevent an element from losing focus?

Question

How to keep the Focus on one textbox ? even if you click anywhere in a browser.

$(\"#txtSearch\").focus();

Answer 1

It's also possible without jQuery and without re-focusing, if you just need a click on specific elements to not grab the focus

just listen for the mousedown event and cancel it

element.addEventListener("mousedown", event => {event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation()});
